Return of the Samurai

While Collier was in the womb, I was sure that he was going to be the wildest little guy on the planet. In a previous blog posting, I compared his active movements to that of a samurai. Much to our surprise he has been the mildest little guy around for the last 9 months - both content and docile.

But, what seems like overnight, our little "samurai" is BACK!

He is a wiggle worm and a force to be reckoned with. He often seems to forget that he is 21 months younger than his brother and will try anything that Harper does (mind you, he can't even walk yet but that doesn't seem to stop him). He is brave and often reckless. He is determined and inpatient - yet has a smile and a laugh that can melt your heart.

I couldn't resist sharing some photos that might give you an idea of how it is to change the diaper of a little samurai. Just in case the pictures don't give you a complete mental picture of what we are facing right now, I'll provide some comparisons to let you know what it might be like:

Have you ever tried to bathe a cat?
Lasso a beetle? or
Catch a fish with your bare hands?

If you have, you might be able to comprehend diapering our little Collier.
